CTRL + Tab to Cycle open files, CTRL+W to close an open file

CTRL + Tab to Cycle open files, CTRL+W to close an open file

The ability to switch between open files (CTRL+Tab) or close an open file (CTRL+W), similar to how modern browsers works, would be extremely nice for when users are quickly looking back and forth between 2 different files on a single screen.
Also, CTRL+N to start a new document would be pretty nice as well.

It may seem like nothing to click a tab, but when you are trying to compare features or simulation results quickly on a laptop, clicking between tabs with a trackpad can be difficult.

I still type CTRL-Tab all the time in fusion 360, but I get nothing.  I have pressed CTRL-O and CTRL-N a bunch of times too.  I am used to this interface for switching between open documents in Word/Excel and in AutoCAD, and Visual Studio, and web browsers and pretty much every other application I have ever used.  Please, add these easy to implement features!  =D

Seriously, how come we can't have CTRL-Tab to cycle through open files? 

 

I would also like something similar to cycle through multiple sheets in the Drawing Module. Having to mouse around to check tolerance across multiple sheets open in multiple files is maddening.

On a Mac, using Cmd + ` cycles through tabs correctly until you get to the last open file. BUT, it doesn't loop around to the first open document as expected! And pressing Cmd + Shift + ` doesn't reverse the cycling, which is how other apps do their tab cycling.

 

I cannot speak to this functionality on Windows, but maybe try Ctrl in place of Cmd.

Please use the Chrome/firefox/other browser defaults 🙂
CTRL + Tab forward
CTRL + shift + Tab backward
CTRL + W  close
